Hello, i'm priyanka, my age is 26 and i'm unmarried, I faced acne problem since teenage, I consulted a derma 4 years ago and he prescribed me benzol peroxide in night nd clindamycin in morning, and that worked well, I got a flawless skin from that, neither I got any acne after that, I used that cream since now. But from few months they r not working and I suddenly started getting acnes on my lower face, mostly on my chin and jawline. I do have normal menstrual cycle, and 4 months ago gone through a ultrasound for pcod, but that was negative i'm nt suffering from pcod. I have tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing is working, and these acnes are getting worse day by day, and they are at thr peak prior week to my periods, please help me to figure out my problem and suggest me what can I do. Thanks in advance.

don't worry..it can be cleared...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Hi lybrate-user! depending on the symptoms and history ,you seem to be suffering from hormonal imbalance. Usually in females, pcod or thyroid problems can cause acne in jaw and chin area. I advise to go for pcod profile blood tests. Ultrasound pelvis always might not rule out pcod. Pcod is rising in females nowadays due to stress and environmental factors. I advise you to go for check up and get tests done .depending on which ,treatment for acne can be treated from root level. For timebeing do use adapalene and benzoyl peroxide gels. Cut down high glycemic foods, dairy products, oily foods. Take plenty of fruits and vegetables. Drink 3 to 4 litres of water per day. Do exercise for atleast 1/2 hr.
